Governing Box


Motor operated Control Gear to generate resetting /
protection oil & control oil for S.V./ Summators

Two Manual trip devices

Two Over Speed Governor Slide valves (110 % & 111 %)

Two Remote Trip Solenoids

Slide Valve for ATT with two solenoids


Combination of throttle & nozzle governing

IP Turbine has throttle governing all four control
valves open simultaneously

HP Turbine has nozzle governing all four control
valves open in preset sequence

Resetting of Turbine is done by Control Gear operation

Operation of Stop & Control Valves and CRH Check
Valves are done by spring type hydraulic servomotors

Servomotors are closed by spring action during loss of
oil pressure

HPT control valves open only after achieving preset load
(12% of 660 MW)
Opening time of control valve is 1.5 sec
Closing time of Stop valve in case of operation of
protection is 0.3 sec
Turbine maximum speed is restricted to 108% in case of
generator disconnected from grid
Over speed protection system stops steam supply in
HPC in < 0.5s
Speed Controller Droop is adjustable from 2.5% to 8%
(with dead band of 0.04%)


Stabilized oil pressure of 50 Ksc is supplied to Control
Gear

The control gear (AE001) is moved from closed position
(0 degree) to open position (90 deg)

Oil is first supplied to reset the over speed governor slide
valves

Subsequently Protection Oil is generated and supplied
to protection devices

Finally, Control Oil for Stop Valves servomotors &
Control Oil for EHC-summators are generated

Control Oil pressure in S.V. servomotor moves up slide valve,
providing Header Pressure Oil under the piston for S.V. opening

Header Pressure Oil is supplied to C.V. valve servomotors via
locking pilot valve & traction/bush arrangements. Opening of C.V.
is governed by Control Oil from EHC-Summator

During loss of Header Pressure Oil, the servomotors are closed by
spring action

During loss of Control Oil pressure, Bush & Traction of Pilot valve
travels up shutting off head pressure oil supply to C.V.
servomotors, resulting control valve closing

During S.V. ATT, bush & Traction do not travel up due to slide
valve downward movement by ATT motor

EHC comprises of following controllers:

1. Speed Controller

2. Pressure Controller

3. Load Controller

4. Position Controller



EHC can be kept in Manual / Auto Mode as per
operators choice
Manual mode can be selected only when Generator is
connected to grid

In Manual Mode, operator can directly open / close the
control valves

Controllers can be selected in auto mode through P.B
provided on operators console or through interlocks

Controller output in auto mode depends on set point and
actual value

Speed Controller will be switched on automatically in
case generator breaker opens (with Turbine controller
on auto) or Turbine trips

Turbine speed measurement is be done by using 3
sensors (eddy current type)

The mean* of the three sensors is taken as actual
speed

Incase of one sensor fault, maximum of rest two
sensors will come in service

Incase of two sensor fault, Turbine trip signal is
generated to trip the turbine
Speed Ref Tracking:
After Synchronization, with other controller in service,
the speed controller tracks the actual speed between
49HZ to 51HZ (adjustable)

Islanding Mode:
If actual speed exceeds speed reference by a preset
limit under Generator Breaker in closed condition,
Islanding mode occurs Transferring Turbine to Speed
Control mode

Load Control On: Load Controller will be switched on
automatically if Turbine controller is kept on auto and
connected to the grid under Turbine Latched condition.

Load Control Off: Load controller will be switched off
under following conditions:
1. Manual control mode is switched on
2. The Generator has disconnected from the grid
3. The grid frequency has gone beyond allowable limits
4. Load Measurement faulty (2/3 sensors faulty)
5. M.S. Pres. measurement faulty (2V3 sensors faulty)
6. Unit is in Pressure Control mode

Logic-2: The Load reference tracks actual load for bump less transfer
once it is connected to the grid.

Logic-3: Load Reference will be stopped under the following
Conditions:
1. TSC Margin is less than permissible value*
2. The difference between the actual and reference value is
not in allowable range

Logic-4: Maximum and minimum load set points, set by the Operator

Logic-5: External Frequency Influence ON - actual frequency will be
tracked at a predefined delayed rate, with an adjustable droop to
help in loading and unloading of the machine within a band of
frequency
Contd
Logic 6: The Pressure correction is divided into two Parts:
1. Before the HPC On is generated, the pressure
correction will be calculated with R.H. pressure
2.After HPC On is generated, the pressure correction
will be calculated with M.S pressure

HPC On: The point at which the HP Control Valves starts Opening
(12% of full load)

Load Measurement: Three Transducers with mean* value selection
Incase of one of the transducer failed, maximum of rest two.will be
selected

Pressure Control is switched ON by the operator or
automatically through Turbine Control on auto when HPC
is in operation

Pressure Controller is automatically deactivated under the
following conditions:

1. GCB Open
2. The frequency is more than allowable value*
3. M.S. pressure transducers failed (2V3)
4. Manual Control switched on
5. Load control is On
6. HPC is out of operation

M.S. pressure set point is dictated by Boiler Master

Limitation of pressure drop to impermissible value is ensured by
minimum pressure controller

Limitation of pressure rise to impermissible value is ensured by a
protective control stage maximum steam pressure controller, which
comes into operation through maximum value selector

50 Ksc Header Pressure Oil holds the piston (2) up
against spring action
As the slide valve (1) moves as per I/H converter, 35 Ksc
control oil output is regulated for C.V. servomotor
operation
When 50 KSC Governing oil pressure collapses, piston
(2) travels down due to spring action thus draining the
oil line of C.V. servomotor

Start Turbine rolling with Speed Control on from barring
speed to 500 rpm
After achieving desired criteria, raise speed set point to 1200
rpm* and subsequently to 3000 rpm
After synchronization Load Controller gets switched On
raise load > 80MW when HPC ON signal is generated
Turbine Pressure Control will be automatically switched On
After HPCV demand crosses 80%, switch ON Position
controller to hold 80% as the o/p to control valves for raising
pressure to rated value
Switch ON Pres. Controller to raise load to rated value
Switch ON Load Control after load reaches the rated value
